Canada 22 - Granville (an almost lost creditcard)

Bridges on Granville island where we had invited Joanna & Allen for dinner

breakfast at Starbucks

Vancouver downtown revisited




sailing to Granville

the food market where you can get it all; fruit, veggies, meat, fish, you name it it's there and moreover all is fresh and a lot is organic



I stumbled upon this 'dresser' in a gallery. Wow this is an item I truly love! 


dancing the tango: had to think of our friends Huibertie & Wouter ^^


cute wedding pic

the hat shop where Peter bought me an awesome sort of hat ^^

lounging at the Granville hotel

Hilarious moment: when Peter wanted to pay with creditcard the waiter flipped it by accident between the floarboards of the deck... arghhh. 
But their maintenance guy fixed it and in the evening after our dinner at Bridges we fetched it. Super!




meeting 3 weeks later again with Joanna & Allen

Canada trip 20: A day at the waterfront with Stormy (Lake Country BC)

Peter and Stormy at our deck

our private appartment WITH deck AND moreover view on the lake at B&B Gable Beach at Lake Country

Sitting at the deck and watching what's going on: many boats get launched in the lake, never a dull moment 

the dock of our neighbours mmm they must be wealthy ^^


the super healthy breakfast we made

shade and leisure at the end of the day/swim

Eileen and Gary, the owners of Gable Beach the B&B we are staying atm, invited us over for drinks this evening. We enjoyed muchly,  lovely chat and great people they are!

Their dog Stormy is really cute, he dives and picks up stones from the bottom of the lake. He can swim all day in the lake Gary told us. Everybody knows Stormy he is famous around here :-) 

Arghhh our Canada trip it's coming to an end real soon now. 
Tomorrow we will leave for Vancouver, sleep there for 2 nights and then fly back home. Grrr, don't wanna leave coz I love this country muchly: the space, the fresh air, the easy way of living, the kind and approachable people. Love it!

Looking forward to meet up with Joanna and Allen again on Sunday for dinner in Vancouver. So much to tell/talk about after > 3 wks of touring BC.
